407.15 is what percent of 3065.3 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 3065.3 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 3065.3, so we can write it down as 100%=3065.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 407.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=407.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3065.3
2) x%=407.15
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=3065.3/407.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 407.15 is what percent of 3065.3

100%/x%=3065.3/407.15
(100/x)*x=(3065.3/407.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5286749355274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5286749355274) to get x
100/7.5286749355274=x
13.28254983199=x
x=13.28254983199

now we have:
407.15 is 13.28254983199% of 3065.3
